hamein to TuuTi hui kashtiyaan nahin dikhtin — Umar Farooq

uTThe jo tere dar se to duniyaa simaT gai
baiThe the tere dar pe zamaana liye hue

mujhe kharid rahe hain mire sabhi apne
main bik to jaaun magar saamne to aae koi

badan kaa bojh uThaanaa bhi ab muhaal huaa
jo khud se haar ke baiThe to phir ye haal huaa

mire maalik mujhe is khaak se be-ghar na karnaa
mohabbat ke safar mein chalte chalte thak gayaa huun main

ab ku-e-sanam chaar qadam hi kaa safar hai
kuchh aur masaafat ko Thahar kyuun nahin jaate

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
